A number of storms in the northern hemisphere have such characteristics including tropical cyclones (hurricanes an typhoons), some extratropical cyclones, and most tornadoes (on rare occasions they are anticyclonic).

Do thunderstorms with lighting have strong cyclonic winds spinning counterclockwise?

No. Most thunderstorms do not rotate, nor do they necessarily produce strong winds. A thunderstorm with strong rotation is called a supercell. A supercell in the northern hemisphere will rotate counterclockwise, but one in the southern hemisphere will rotate clockwise. The same is true of all cyclonic storms.


How do the ocean currents influence the route of the cyclonic storms?

When there are warm currents over large surfaces of water, low presuure conditions are created that attract cyclones. This influences the route of the cyclonic storms.


What is a non cyclonic storm?

A non-cyclonic storm, also known as a convective storm, is a type of severe weather event that does not have the rotating circulation characteristic of cyclones or hurricanes. Non-cyclonic storms can include thunderstorms, hailstorms, and tornadoes that form due to strong convective activity in the atmosphere. These storms can still be very powerful and produce damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and lightning.


Which phenomena can occur when very warm and humid air is rising over a mass of a very cold air?

Intense Rain and Hail which may lead to storms and cyclonic storms.


Do storms go counterclockwise?

It depends on the kind of storm and where it occurs. Many storms such as dust storms and most thunderstorms do not rotate at all. When storms do rotate, those in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. A small percentage of tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms, though, go opposite to this.

A counterclockwise atmospheric circulation in the northern hemisphere is known as what?

A cyclone, or cyclonic storm. These are low pressure systems that include tropical storms and hurricanes.


Are tornadoes cyclonic?

Most tornadoes are cyclonic, meaning they rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. However, a very small percentage of tornadoes are anticyclonic, rotating in the opposite direction.

What storm forms over oceans?
